Big Mike's Cheesy Garlic Bread

I got tired of the pre-made garlic bread in foil, so I decided to try making my own cheesy garlic bread. I checked out some recipes online and settled on these ingredients. It turned out even better than I thought.

Ingredients
1 fresh Italian loaf, horizontally cut in half
1 stick butter, melted
6 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 cups shredded cheese (Parmesan, provolone, and Mozzarella blend)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Place both sides of the Italian loaf on a cookie sheet with the crust side down and the cut side up.
3. In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic and spread evenly on baguette halves.
4. Bake bread for 15 minutes and remove from oven. Change the oven setting to high broil.
5. Evenly sprinkle cheese over the halves of bread, sprinkle parsley over cheese and stick the cookie sheet back in the oven. Broil for 1 minute or until cheese has completed melted and shows a few golden bubble marks.
6. Remove from oven, slice bread in diagonal pieces and serve.

Store remaining slices of bread in the freezer in a ziplock bag to use in the future.
